    We are still playing Imperial Assault, currently on our 3rd campaign. Was hoping they would announce the development of a clone wars era version of Imperial Assault with an all new core box.

    I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but the Imperial Commander 2 app has brought this game back to life for me. It lets you play through the book campaigns in a digital format similar to the official app, which allows single players to finally experience that side of the game.

    • @PiterMorbid
      @PiterMorbid 3 месяца назад

      Yeah I just started a campaign with it and it's awesome to play the book campaigns rather than the stripped-down official app campaigns.

    @drbasseri 2 года назад +9

    Im just glad they're still reprinting it. Makes you wonder, though, if Asmodee didn't take over FFG, would we have gotten more stuff?

  • @franciscotudela7200
    @franciscotudela7200 2 года назад +11

    This is my group’s favorite game, we have played all the campaigns. It’s a great game. It does nor seem like a complete game because it is missing return of the Jedi content.

    • @remyscarvajal8719
      @remyscarvajal8719 2 года назад +6

      Totally agree. Heart of the Empire, and Lothal expansion are ok. But I would have loved to see Endor and the Death Star final battle. Even a small box expansion would have been great. An X wing pilot and some Alien as heroes. Some Ewoks as Allie tokens. Some speeder bikes and scout troopers as enemy units. And a Death Star commander as a Boss. I don't know, without the battle on Endor, Imperial Assault feels incomplete to me.

    @andrewfrederick3375 2 года назад +3

    Imperial Assault is probably my favourite FFG star wars game. I love the original characters they created. CT-1701 was the coolest Hero they made. I recently introduced a group of friends to it and they found it really fun as an alternative to regular DnD. It's a great game for groups that like playing campaigns together. Incredible value in it too, so much content and things to do with even just the core set. Absolutely love it

  • @brianlewandowski3342
    @brianlewandowski3342 2 года назад +2

    Just played 2 skirmish games of it last night! The game is still awesome and I wouldn't write-off the skirmish version, it is a good, quick way to scratch that Star Wars itch without gettting into a campaign. The rules are also really well written making for smooth play and easy learning for beginners.

  • @bahasainggeris7884
    @bahasainggeris7884 2 года назад

    Thanks for the update. I had assumed there were not going to be any more expansions several years ago.

    I finished completing the whole Collection, all Expansions and character packs and I haven't even finished the Core Game Scenario ! That is how much I Love it !
    Happy to hear Marc Thompson also plays the game, loved his High Republic AudioBooks.

    @stormwalker628 2 года назад +3

    Even if they didn't add another boxed expansion, I was always hoping for more campaigns (using the tiles from the previous expansions).
    I've played through all the expansions except for Tyrants of Lothal. Yet.

  • @johnfahey5357
    @johnfahey5357 2 года назад

    I played the core, Hoth, and Jabba campaigns with friends a few years ago. After moving and waiting for my kids to grow up, I've done three of the app campaigns and two full campaigns with my sons. The youngest is seven. I love this game - it's also my first stab at painting miniatures.
    Regarding skirmish, the Imperial Assault Continuity Project (IACP) has been running tournaments and putting together new waves of characters and units. They're doing good work.

  • @rich_b1982
    @rich_b1982 2 года назад +3

    What would have been cool would have been a campaign set with some imperial 'heroes' taking on missions against a dm controlled rebel force.
    Really enjoyed the game and had a good group of us locally pre pandemic. Despite trying nobody has shown much interest in resuming play. Between groups I've done tyrants of lothal, twin shadows and a core campaign. Also done hoth and jabba's realm solo at home using the app.

  • @jediguy634
    @jediguy634 2 года назад +2

    Thanks Crabbok for being such a positive part of the Star Wars gaming community and everything you do!
    At SWC Chicago 2019 i did a meet / greet with Sam Witter. We had a solid 5 min convo about IA and X-Wing, definitely a highlight from the trip.
    As someone with a 100% complete collection, i can second its more stuff than you'll ever get all the way through. My gaming group swaps out imp players, Myself as one, and its interesting to see the very different tactics we pick. So even though we may have played the same campaign before, its a VERY different experience depending on who's playing imp.
    A shout out to the Imperial Assault Sub-Reddit. Its a great community and anyone new or experienced should check it out.
    They didnt happen to mention the app at all? Does "Complete" mean they are done porting over expansions and missions?

  • @mih2
    @mih2 2 года назад

    Hands down a great game & the single best family gaming experiences I've had: DM'ing campaigns with the kids and cranking up their excitement over the rounds is a magical experience and provides so many moments to reflect upon. I loved the blister pack expansions, they added so much with the added skirmish and campaign maps. The IA Continuity Project has some great stuff & is keeping the game alive.

  • @tuuru3433
    @tuuru3433 2 года назад +2

    There is continuous new content for skirmish via the Imperial Assault Continuity Project (IACP).

    @werdyzam8167 2 года назад

    I haven't played a lot of Imperial Assault but what I did play was a blast and I immediately bought the Hoth expansion. I'm glad that even though they aren't making new stuff that you can still find the old expansions and things.

    I combined all the campaigns together into one giant campaign with two teams alternating. Team 1 does the core missions, team 2 does organized and randomized side quests. At the end of each campaign 2 heros unlock to be added to the hero rotation.

    Trying to figure out the various tabletop Star Wars games and Imperial Assault has me intrigued. I bought a couple blister packs but wondered, if I only did one game, should I go down the Legion path instead. This video (and others on this channel) swayed me towards just diving in with Imperial Assault.

  • @space6513
    @space6513 2 года назад

    Excited to hear about this. I think knowing that it is a complete game I will probably just grab the core set and be content. Love the rabbit hole Legion got me down but don’t want to shell out more cash to something else.

  • @josephmoberly2109
    @josephmoberly2109 2 года назад

    Also agree that a final “endor” box would of perfectly completed the game for me.

  • @wife9571
    @wife9571 2 года назад

    i’ve never considered imperial assault because i’m more of a clone wars era fan and i didn’t think it would be that fun to just play OT era characters. however i had no idea about the app support, and i play tabletop games (even legion thanks to the ai system) solitaire. now i’m itching to get a box and start a campaign!!

  • @diffkiss
    @diffkiss 2 года назад +9

    I am so close to owning the entire game. Most exciting is the Imperial Assault Continuity Project. A very professionally run fan made community that is constantly adding characters and content. Look up IACP. Lots of 3d printing community members also for sweet options like Mando and the child.

  • @JohnnyLeyenda
    @JohnnyLeyenda 2 года назад +2

    The fact that I got the core box yeeears ago but just purchased General Weiss’ pack last month speaks tons about the support this gets from reprints. Would I like to see more content? Certainly! But I still have a bunch of small packs to catch up, so I’d rather they kept reprinting those instead of a new edition that discontinues the current content (like Descent).

  • @scubaguymi

    I played all Imperial Assault, back and forth, multiple times (9 campaigns play). I played a lot of skimirshes (~200 games). I still have some missions to run out of the 136 official missions. Im not asking for more, as by the time I was done with my last campaign, I could go back and replay the old ones...:) And just a couple of homebrew characters and the fanmade app makes for another run!

  • @cunningwarrior1827
    @cunningwarrior1827 Год назад

    Imperial Assault is a very cool game. I don't have everthing, but I did manage to acquire a second core set when a game store had them on clearance for $70usd.
    I've only played the game once in skirmish mode, but have used the mini's and tiles forr other games. Warzone 2nd edition was a big favorite for awhile where Imperials = Bauhaus or the Brotherhood and the Rebels being Capitol. The short lived Terminator Genisys uses almost all of the figures with just a little imagination.
    In an ad-hoc 40k tournament (Yes, they happen), Imperials became the Space Marine Chapter, the 715th, the Kamino Cloners. I came in 3rd out of 8.
    I've thad stormtroopers wiped out by zombies, terminators and angry civilians. Rebel troops and heroes have battled stormtoopers while fighting zombies, lost to dinosaurs while fighting with Mal Reynolds over a job (it belonged to the Rebels), and joined with a famous starship crew to conquer nasty aliens.
    I even found 1 rebel trooper at a garage sale in a $0.25 bin. You had to see me explaining to the woman running it what it was from and asking if they had more. As most of her stuff was geared to small children, she had a blank stare.
    I love Imperial Assault and have never regretted the many purchases I have made to acquire it. I wish it was still being expanded on.

    I honestly was considering getting rid of my collection(not a whole lot but the base game and some individual heroes) but my girlfriend recently showed interest and that is enough of a reason to playthrough it again. The skirmish mode is what got me INTERESTED in the game but im not sure I’d have an opponent around that would feel like building a squad before starting the game

  • @jponeill2151

  • @thatblastedsamophlange

    well, to be hopeful (rebellions are built on hope, after all), if imperial assault is considered a complete game, this could be a good thing if they are making an imperial assault second edition.

    I have my suspicion that they were planning on doing a new version of Imperial Assault based on the Descent: Legends of the Dark game (which some people call Descent 3rd edition despite FFG saying that it isn't) which was announced at the virtual Gencon 2020 event. I don't think that that game did as well as they had hoped, though. That would explain, at least in my mind, why they had a change in plans regarding Imperial Assault.
